Dealing with the boss, especially female boss is not easy. First, she has lots to say, but does not wants to listen. Second, because she is female, her hormones are mixed up with her logical thinking when it comes to the tasks to be done. Third, it worsen because she has no common sense when asking people to do this do that they also have lots to do.
I personally don’t like people asking me to do this and that without considering my schedule and particularly my feeling. If she just asked me to help her, politely, without feeling that she is above me, I’m surely will help her out. But, if she just thinking that she is the boss so that she has right to give me any assignments she wants, anytime, anywhere, I can’t accept it.
I think, same goes to everybody under her department. Slowly, we try to find artificial boss, contact this “artificial boss” regularly, getting assignments from her/him, arrange department meeting without the “actual boss”. Slowly but sure, we are –almost all of us- ignoring her messages. She might be a boss written on the paper, but inside our heart she just no body.
Some of explain that she is so difficult to reach. When there are jobs that need to be tackle, they can’t contact her, even to call her, or email her is difficult. When we have department meeting, she always gone nowhere. So, in order to make the job done well, we have to do it by our self and thanks to “artificial boss”, she is always there to divide the jobs as well as monitoring it.
Why “artificial boss” win our heart instead of the “actual boss”?
It is simple, the “artificial boss” not only give us the job, but she monitoring us. She asked us not only whether we have spare time to do the job but also whether we are willing to do it. Not to mention, she is also give a check on the venues when she gave the assignment to us, not only asking us to do this and that. She is there when we are doing our job, she gave us courage and we believe in her. Above that, she helps us to gather all the jobs and send it to the head of department for further response. She makes us work with our heart. The work itself is not burdensome because we feel that she is doing the job together with us.
For the “actual boss” that might read my written here. We do not hate you. We love you. Please respect us the same way we respect you. Treat us as your friends, not as your subordinate. Treat us with caring and love, we will give you love.
